It's time to rethink how we manage our oceans, forests, cities, consumption patters

and economic systems.

And the science is here for it.

Human activity is irreversibly changing our planet, especially our climate. The voracious demand for fossil fuels and natural resources has led us to an ecological breaking point, even after decades of climate action. How do we reverse this trend? Will green growth, the bioeconomy, or the Green New Deal be enough to avert a climate disaster? Or should we look to degrowth or a-growth as alternative models? What are the tradeoffs associated with different mitigation strategies and how can we avoid rebound effects and negative social impacts?

The Growth vs. Climate Conference in Barcelona will gather leading scientists, thinkers, policymakers, activists and journalists to discuss the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

The 3-day event will feature keynote speakers, academic papers on specific and cross-cutting themes, policy debates, and co-creation workshops organized across five societal challenges: Oceans, Land, Cities, Consumption and Policies.
